It was supposed to be the uncontested champion of 2025, the title that would overshadow everything else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-1-65T6QSYGZRHGTD2MAYTRMKTS3A\">Then Rockstar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/pop-culture\/2025\/11\/07\/grand-theft-auto-6-release-date-delayed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/pop-culture\/2025\/11\/07\/grand-theft-auto-6-release-date-delayed\/\">pushed the release<\/a> to 2026, and suddenly the year opened up. With the giant temporarily out of the way, 2025 became a far more interesting battleground, giving other studios a chance to dominate the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-3-EGRVQOUPMJHY5ELTIDQQW4GN2A\">What followed was a surprisingly competitive year packed with imaginative sequels, long-awaited indies and bold new games that might have been swept aside in any other year.<\/p>\n<p>1.

Clair Obscur blends surreal French fantasy with turn based combat and a story about resistance in a world trapped in cycles of destruction. Its gorgeous aesthetic and elegant mechanics have made it a defining work of the past year. The animations, music and voice acting align to create a tone that feels haunting. Players have praised its approach to storytelling and its ability to deliver emotional weight without sacrificing gameplay depth.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Team Cherry elevates the Hollow Knight formula by focusing on the agile Hornet, creating faster traversal, more expressive combat and a world that is denser, more vertical and filled with new biomes. Its handcrafted environments and demanding boss encounters have made it an essential action platformer. What distinguishes Silksong is its sense of fluidity. Hornet\u2019s movement style encourages aggressive play and inventive routes through each region, giving speedrunning and exploration new depth. <\/p>\n<p>5. Blue Prince<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-23-QI5IGWKMQ5CO5GRHJE27INOYXE\">Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, PC<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-24-MPJRR47IZVCGVKHTSB6KOUS7ZU\">Blue Prince is the indie success story of 2025.

Blue Prince rewards careful observation rather than brute force problem solving, creating a meditative rhythm of exploration. It has become popular among streamers and puzzle fans, giving it reach far beyond typical indie titles.<\/p>\n<p>6.

Dynamic weather and environmental effects add variety to races, and the multiplayer features are richer and more stable than in past titles. <\/p>\n<p>8. Donkey Kong Bananza<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-35-77K42BBHN5EDFLI7DZYEU2K7BU\">Platform: Nintendo Switch 2<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-36-DIH3QF7KIJB3NE6YUZQTEJ3AGI\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/2025\/10\/02\/nintendo-switch-2-best-games-mario-kart-world-metacritic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/2025\/10\/02\/nintendo-switch-2-best-games-mario-kart-world-metacritic\/\">Nintendo<\/a>\u2019s iconic ape returns in a colourful platforming adventure filled with rhythmic movement, lush environments, and environmental puzzles. Its upbeat tone makes it suitable for all ages, while secret routes and challenges reward dedicated players. Bananza embraces the charm and humour associated with the Donkey Kong brand. The level design encourages playful exploration rather than straightforward progression. Each region introduces new mechanics that feel inspired by classic platformers, yet reimagined for modern audiences. <\/p>\n<p>9. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-39-Q3UDRQXMMVFEPJ4HNW3XX6HVMI\">Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-40-POMABCQNTRHD5PKPOR5HBZWZUU\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/pop-culture\/2025\/10\/03\/sonic-racing-crossworlds-review-mario-kart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/arts-culture\/pop-culture\/2025\/10\/03\/sonic-racing-crossworlds-review-mario-kart\/\">Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds<\/a> embraces multiverse themed tracks and team-orientated mechanics that encourage co-ordinated play.

Doom: The Dark Ages<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-43-CIHMS32UNFHC3A6RELSS3Z6BVY\">Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, PC<\/p>\n<p class=\"defaultstyled__StyledText-sc-11u52t4-1 huqwQJ margin-lg-bottom\" id=\"el-44-DOZC7V443ZH6ZJPPIYQQ22LNQA\">Doom: The Dark Ages retains the intense speed and aggression that defined the series while offering new ideas that feel surprisingly natural for the franchise.

Insurance covers you for cancellation and anything else that can go wrong before you leave.<\/p>\n<p>Some insurers, such as World Nomads, allow you to book once you are travelling \u2013 but, as Mr Mohammed found out, pre-existing medical conditions are not covered.<\/p>\n<p>Check your credit card before booking insurance to see if you have any travel insurance as a benefit \u2013 most UAE banks, such as Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, have cards that throw in insurance as part of their package. But read the fine print \u2013 they may only cover emergencies while you\u2019re travelling, not cancellation before a trip.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-existing medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, epilepsy and even asthma may not be included as standard. Again, check the terms, exclusions and limitations of any insurance carefully.<\/p>\n<p>If you want trip cancellation or curtailment, baggage loss or delay covered, you may need a higher-grade plan, says Ambareen Musa of Souqalmal.com. Decide how much coverage you need for emergency medical expenses or personal liability. Premium insurance packages give up to $1 million (Dh3.7m) in each category, Ms Musa adds.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t wait for days to call your insurer if you need to make a claim. You may be required to notify them within 72 hours. Gather together all receipts, emails and reports to prove that you paid for something, that you didn\u2019t use it and that you did not get reimbursed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, consider optional extras you may need, says Sarah Pickford of Travel Counsellors, such as a winter sports holiday. Also ensure all individuals can travel independently on that cover, she adds. And remember: \u201cCheap isn\u2019t necessarily best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The years Ramadan fell in
